Yesterday, following a suggestion of Tarek, we have started tagging public (internet) websites developped with CPS on del.icio.us with the tag cps-site.

After one day, we already have more than 60 sites. Not bad, for a system that we know is more often used for intranets (ECM, if you prefer) than for internet websites.

Please join the “CPS sites hunt” and add the tag to your sites.

The news of the CPS 3.4 release has been slasdotted today.

Both the announcement on nuxeo.com (which runs CPS 3.3.8) and the brand new cps-project.org (which has been upgraded to CPS 3.4.0, and which sports a new home page and updated content), where linked from the Slashdot news.

Despite the increase in visits number, the server (which hosts both sites, as well as a few others) hasn’t had the slightest hickup, thanks to the performances work we’ve done during the CPS 3.3/3.4 development cycle.

As you probably know already, CPS 3.4.0 was released this monday and it
really rocks (at least, that’s the feedback we’ve had from our users so
far)!

We’ve already posted an announcement on nuxeo.com (here in
english, and here in french),
as well as on zope.org (here)
and freshmeat (
here).

Now, the release and the early announcement are just the beginning, because
we really want people to try out this new version.

We have created our
first screencasts (in Flash, using Macromedia Captivate – there is
nothing wrong with pyvnc2swf, but it only addresses capture, not
editing).

And we have a Windows
installer, that bundles about everything (Python, Zope, CPS, wvware,
ppthtml, xlhtml, xsltproc…) that’s needed (even non-mandatory tools) to
run CPS on Windows, installs CPS in 4 clicks, and provide a GUI controller
for the CPS instance.

There is a lot more work … Read more

Nuxeo est cosignataire, avec Sun Microsystems, ADULLACT, Mozilla
Europe, IDEALX, MySQL et Mandriva, de la lettre suivante adressée la semaine dernière au
Premier Ministre:

Monsieur le Premier
Ministre,

Les événements qui ont accompagné à la fin
du mois de décembre 2005 le vote de la loi sur les droits d’auteur (DADVSI)
ont démontré combien ce sujet était à la fois sensible etcomplexe. C’est
dans un souci de clarification que les industriels de logiciel libre
signataires de cette lettre s’adressent à vous, Monsieur le Premier
Ministre, en espérant que vous donnerez une écoute favorable aux
différentes points que nous soulevons.

L’amalgame qui est souvent fait entre le
logiciel libre et les moyens de partages de contenus illégaux nous semble
tout à fait abusif. Notre défense nationale (Gendarmerie, armée, police),
une grande partie des nouveaux services administratifs en ligne
(télédéclaration des impôts) ainsi que la majorité des grands industriels
comme France Télécom,
